Chris is a member of the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Tribe, was born in 1972 and always had a fascination for jewelry making. After his service in the US Army, Chris became a chef. But his passion for jewelry drew him to become a full-time jewelry maker in 2003. His grandparents, family & tribal members provided Chris' inspiration in making the unique pieces of jewelry. Very few artisans can make the type of inlay that Chris is famous for. His inlays are seamless & beautifully color coordinated. He uses only natural material, hand cut and polished.
